Evening Leave This song has been progressing slowly, I composed most of the melody and chords in 2016, then got the lyrical inspiration in 2019 and now this year when going through unfinished projects I decided to put some effort for this and managed to complete it. Inspiration came from the name of a local bar (translated to Evening Leave here), never visited the place, because I was just a child when it existed, so this is a fully romanticized version  One of the slowest tempo songs I've ever made. I think also one with the least number of instruments. Special mentions go to the mallet RealDrums - nothing else sounded good for the mood I was after, and the solo guitarist which has inspiring Gary Moore vibe. RealDrums: Mallets128Slow RealTracks: Electric Bass TexasBluesRock slow #1922 Acoustic Piano Solo-Acc #896 Electric guitar rhythm Popsoul held #3722 Electric guitar soloist blues slow 12-8 #2686 Strings JazzBalladPads #2963 MIDI: Kinetic Metal VSTi (using MIDI chart of acoustic piano #896) Vocals by me Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab Lyrics: Sun sets down and balance sheets are left behind uncertainty of jobs still bothers their minds some walk alone to find a meaning for their days one common goal for the tired and worn connects their ways. Evening Leave an asylum free from grief a moment worth a toast a welcome that sanctifies the everyday lives. The gate is closed and all the hustle is at rest way too often saying yes to all requests. Once in a while it's fair to make time for yourself though after night you could flake out against the wardrobe shelf. Evening Leave... Twilight, it rains looks back at misery then the neon sign flickering the crowd, their cheerful grins takes a deep breath right before stepping in. ------------------------- Janne

Well done Janne. Those mallets are a very cool drum track. Excellent vocal and lyric. Loved the processing you did on the vocal. Backtrack was excellent

Janne,
Cool BAND! Really interesting combination of instruments. The Mallets are a "fresh" approach - haven't heard anyone use those before.
Interesting lyric and interesting melody.
The vocals on the chorus are cool. And that chorus has a nice Gilbert O'Sullivan vibe to it.
Different. Enjoyed.

Janne You've created a nice laid back vibe and painted a lovely sound canvas with all the instruments placed/spaced perfectly in the stereo mix. Good story and one that I can relate to as we would go to the pub after work for a few quiet ones . Pleasantly slow and atmospheric with a good band and great production. A delightful listen. cheers Gary.

Janne, there is a LOT to like here.
- the melody is great and well performed by you
- great choice of BiaB tracks. The midi converted piano sounded excellent and the guitar solo was very well chosen. Cool idea with the mallets.
- The lyric reminded us of a club here that we used to gig at -- a place where the regulars were always there after work.
- and last, but not least, the mix is excellent.
Well done!

Man, those mallets are interesting. What a cool dirge-like feel. Now that I know it's about a bar, the lyrics give a visual of patrons slowly walking to the place where the fun will begin. Excellent melody and band choice. Really like it, Janne.

As Floyd mentioned the chorus is VERY Gilbert O'Sullivan.
That's a good thing by the way...he was a master of the wistful and melancholic pop song.

fj Thanks fj for your encouraging comment Yes, mallets are fresh, I hope to hear more mallet songs... Gilbert O'Sullivan was an unknown artist to me, but now I have added him to my Spotify playlist, very nice melodic music, thanks for mentioning him, I can hear that vibe as well. Janne

Wow Janne,
I just gave a comment on Summer nevermore and now I'm listening to Evening leave.
Your singing is very different from what I know from you, but very good.
I liked that percussion (mallets) in it. Gives the song some tension while on the other hand it is slowly flowing.
A nice effect!
And as always; very nice lyrics.
Well done Janne!!
Hans

Janne,
Cool song!
It's a mysterious song that you make me think this is just a minor tune first, but unexpected chords appear one after another.
I thought it was a song that made me feel your personality.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Dear 'jannesan'...
Chord-by-chord, your song took me on a dark-colored musical journey that was atmospherically charged by the ethereal strings writing, and the restless, moody, siren's blues-speak of the electric guitar Real Track.
Your impressionistic lyrics were like a special effect, creating dream-like images that formed, solidified, and then dissipated like a mist in the night.
The Real Drums mallets performed at such a slow tempo provided a suspended-in-time feel that enhanced the sense of memories of the past floating to the surface of one's consciousness.
It was an intriguing listening experience.

I like where the melody takes me in the chorus.
Oh, and the instrumentation---loved it.
Very enigmatic sounding.
This line sticks out for me: "an asylum free from grief."

Hans Thanks Hans for your kind comment I haven't changed my singing much, so maybe your observation is caused by the slow tempo and longer vowels. Glad you liked the mallets. Janne

Slow 6/8 is a bit unusual, as it the percussion.
Loved the harmony on the chorus.

Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your pleasant comment You are right about unexpected, I'm still not sure whether the song is a major or a minor tune, maybe that reflects also the two aspects of my personality. But I tried to smile while singing "stepping in", I hope that can be heard. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed your listen. Janne

Thanks bluage for your beautifully poetic comment "dissipated like a mist in the night", very nice image, maybe I was after that image in the ending instrumental section. Couldn't agree more with the mallet comment, although I wouldn't have expressed it in such a nice decorative way Janne

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
